The pair failed to gain momentum after the break, but it settled above the trend line and $3,850, which is a positive sign. The price traded as high as $3,872 and it is currently correcting lower. It broke the $3,860 support and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,832 low to $3,872 high. However, there are many supports on the downside near $3,850 and the 100 hourly SMA.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,832 low to $3,872 high is also near $3,850. Besides, there is a connecting bullish trend line formed near $3,845 on the same chart. Therefore, there are chances of bullish moves as long as the price is above $3,845. On the upside, the price could break the $3,875 level and test $3,900.
